The commitment of the General Directorate of Reformation and Rehabilitation is reflected in its legal duties and dedication to providing living, education, sports and fun services for inmates per the Reformation and Rehabilitation Organisation law.
The facilities are part of the integration of human rights in the operations of the Interior Ministry to protect the rights of inmates to rehabilitate them for the community, the directorate said yesterday.
It is dedicated to enforcing the law on inmates and following procedures at the Reformation and Rehabilitation Centre as per the clauses of the Reformation and Rehabilitation Organisation law.
Furthermore, it co-operates with the Health Ministry, which provides comprehensive healthcare to inmates at modern medical clinics or hospitals. If required, medicines are periodically provided, along with cleaning and disinfecting of the buildings to protect the hygiene of inmates.
In addition, each of them is provided with clothing and food that suit their health conditions, it said.
In education, the directorate takes the required steps to encourage inmates to pursue their education and learn new skills to benefit them after serving their sentences.
It also organises sports and fun competitions and allows them to practice their religious rituals according to their faith. Religious lectures are also organised.
Inmates join vocational and handicraft workshops that enable them to receive monthly income and gain valuable skills that benefit them after leaving the centre.
The training courses are being carried out in cooperation with the Nasser Centre for Training and Vocational Rehabilitation.
